Zach

• Uses impulse to find v(new) [only F(rocket)]

• Conservation of energy (closed system)

  • Using v(new), solves energy equation for r(final)

• Confused about how gravity affects trajectory

  • Realizes v will not be constant

  • Draws a trajectory spiraling inward

• Gives up, unsatisfied
